Host was helpful. Place was clean and as advertised. Sosua was kind of loud and not quite as chill as I would have liked. The DR is wonderful and the people are terrific!

Very nice condo just as pictured. We loved the view, Johaira the property manager was excellent. We enjoyed having a big selection of books to read. Bed very comfortable and bathrooms nice . Highly recommend.

I hate to say too much good about this for fear it will get booked up & not be availablefor me but seriously for us it was the perfect place to stay. I have some mobility issues & location to beach, restaurant & store was a big issue to us. This was perfect. Also safe & quite unlike many other places we’ve stayed.

Friends and I stayed at Marjorie and Ben's place for a month this summer. We had such a wonderful vacation! I would highly recommend the place to anyone looking to escape the 'trapped' atmosphere of the all-inclusive resorts. This condo allows for plenty of relaxation, yet you have much more freedom to explore the country. We enjoyed both the tranquil 'Playa Alicia' and the more social 'Playa Sosua' for their differing beach personalities. We loved jumping off the cliff at the back of the property, floating in the beautiful pool, watching the incredible sunsets from the porch every night, and falling asleep to the gentle wave sounds. We brought our own snorkel equipment (also easy to rent or buy in town) and had excellent snorkeling experiences almost every day at both of the local beaches! Jose, the taxi driver endorsed by the condo community, was a wonderful tour guide and took us on many excellent day trips. I would highly recommend checking out the following: 27 Waterfalls (Damajagua), Punta Rusia (snorkeling), Jarabacoa and Salto Jimenoa, Salto Limon and the beach at Las Terrenas in the Samana Peninsula, the cable car in Puerto Plata, "Three Rocks' snorkeling, the Monkey Jungle Ziplining, and hanging out on the beach and watching (or doing) the kitesurfing and windsurfing in Cabarete. The only excursion I would not recommend would be the local 'big-game fishing' that we arranged through a local vendor at Playa Sosua. It seemed to be a scam as no one every catches anything and the seas are so rough that the customers are often seasick the whole four hours. Our favorite restaurant in town, by the way, is called "Finca". It doesn't look like much from the outside, but is absolutely gorgeous and charming inside, and has truly amazing food. Marjorie and Ben are extremely accommodating and forthcoming with information. Their condo is extremely clean, and it looks exactly like the pictures (hard to believe it's that beautiful, but it is!). Bathrooms are not shown in the pictures but are very nice. The security guards, gardeners, maid (Julia), and the management staff are all very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Thank you Marjorie and Ben!
